Welcome to episode #223 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast.
When it’s time to think of goals for the next year, it can often feel overwhelming—especially when they’re outside the immediate work or life projects on your to-do list. What do you want from your life beyond that list? This question can stump even the most seasoned professionals, not because they’re not ambitious but because they don’t often have time to think about what’s next beyond work goals. Yet, if you’re feeling like that’s not enough, it’s likely because you’re craving something more.
Today’s podcast will help you dive into your dreamiest goals and clarify some of the uncertainties that come with dreaming beyond today.

Welcome to episode #218 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. If you want a bigger life, you have to stop playing small. A bigger life can mean being paid well to do work you love. It can mean having time for people in your life. It can mean more confidence and less anxiety. It can mean going after the job, title and life that you’ve been thinking about but haven’t yet made the moves towards.
Today’s podcast on how to stop playing small will help you reclaim control of your time and impact.

Welcome to episode #214 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. As we get more advanced in our careers, there’s often a feeling of not wanting to give up everything you worked so hard for in the process of making any kind of change. You might have found yourself in a new role or promoted, wondering if this is what you really want. Or maybe you have thoughts of making a change to your life or career and are worried that this is rocking the boat too much. Either way, the thought of change can feel scary and we wonder what lies ahead if we make this next move.
Today’s podcast is on seeing change as a transition and asking ourselves, “what if this was just the beginning?”.

Welcome to episode #213 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. When work takes over our lives, it’s hard for us to feel a sense of separation between ourselves and our work. We live, breathe and sleep thinking about our work. At the same time, we’re happy when we don’t have to focus on it as much and we start to wonder why our work feels like it is all encompassing?
Today’s podcast is on creating a full life where you can love your work, but it isn’t the most interesting about you.

Welcome to episode #212 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. One of the common misconceptions that I see both professionally and personally is that people don’t think they’re leadership material if they’re not loud, aggressive, direct and extraverted. Leadership, however, isn’t a personality trait that you innately have or don’t have - it’s a skill that you develop - and it pays dividends for years to come when you develop these skills. Today’s podcast is going to help you understand the difference between the personality and skill of leadership and help you lead even more authentically.

Welcome to episode #211 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. Taking time off is both a skill and an art. Often we feel like we’re just running off leaving things undone and hoping that no one calls us while we’re gone but realizing that because of the way things are, those emails and calls are going to happen. Or we feel like we don’t deserve to take time off until we’ve earned it via finishing the project or the big thing that’s looming over us so we don’t ever take real breaks. We just are on this constant alert, somewhat attending to work while also not. On today’s podcast, we’ll dive into not just how you can plan your work around time off but how you can do it in a way that has you feeling like a boss.

Welcome to episode #210 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. When we’re struggling with finding the “right” job or the career path that we think will be the most fulfilling, we often think that there is only one thing that will create happiness: getting our career “right.” Knowing our one path. Getting that one job or promotion. Or maybe even not working at all. Finding that one job thing that makes us the happiest.

Welcome to episode #209 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. When you’re a busy professional who either has a corporate career or a business you’re growing, you’re juggling the competing demands of work and your personal life. We know that we’re spending so much time on surface level things and that we need to spend more time doing deeper work or just having time to really attend to our personal lives so that we can focus on our health, family and decisions about what’s next.
Yet, how do you take that time off if there’s so much to do?

Achievers, do you love the feeling of checking off your to-do list? In fact, you might even put things on your to-do list that you’ve already done to then check them off. You celebrate how you are maximizing every waking moment.
Achievers are often the person who gets things done so you feel the constant itch to be productive all the time and at the beck and call of others. Yet, what keeps achievers awake at night is thinking of the really important things that they still haven’t done that matter to them. Their next career move, the next big work idea, their families, developing their people and making the plan for what’s next.
So they tackle the next day with renewed vigor, thinking “if I just get through the to-do list, I’ll have time to figure out how to have more time to do what matters and to make space for deep thinking and work.”

Welcome to episode #207 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. As a professional, you’re used to working hard and doing the hustle. Pushing through pain and tough moments is part of the jobs we’ve decided to take on. We often have the mental pictures of success as being those who are martyred, dying and just making it through life while making lots of money or finally achieving the status they desire. But, is it really true that you need to be unhealthy to be successful? Is it a requirement?

Welcome to episode #206 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. One of the sneaky beliefs of professionals that keep them where they are is thinking that they can’t make any changes because they should be grateful.
“I should be grateful….but”. Every time you think about change, a sense of guilt comes over you.
Life is pretty good so why rock the boat?
Today’s podcast on how you can be grateful and still make changes will help you understand why you feel that guilt and also you can keep gratitude from getting in the way of allowing your life to unfold.

Welcome to episode #205 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. Have you ever experienced burnout? The kind of chronic fatigue where you’re tired and running on reserves for more than just a day or a week at a time? You start to wonder if that exhaustion will ever end but keep telling yourself that it only be one more project or one more month until you find yourself wondering if you need to quit that job and move on.
Today’s podcast on how you don’t need to burn out to succeed will help you find the sweet spot between working hard and burning out so that you don’t have to quit before you’re truly ready.

Welcome to episode #204 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. Last week, I went to Portugal on a retreat and it reminded me yet again of something I’ve been working on for a long time: not doing everything myself. Somewhere between taking radical responsibility and the ideas of leaning in, I gave so much of myself that I emptied my tank. I was capable and have already figured so many things out, so why did I need to go? Did I need more help, yet again?
